I have been so excited about the release of this book and I knew it had to be a book I bought on my Bath bookish adventure at the end of January. I love Libby Page’s books and she is another author I was introduced to thanks to The Book Taster community, as she was the authors at one of the live events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many reasons before I even opened this book that I knew I would love it; it is about books, it has a bookshop in it and it is from the pen of Libby Page – and have you seen the cover?! ‘This Book Made Me Think of You’ is a book for every bookworm and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We meet Tilly (full name Matilda) as she is dealing with grief after the death of her husband, Joe. However, Joe has done something amazing: starting on her birthday, he has left her a book per month for a year, a book he has especially picked for her and there is a note to go with each one. These books create a year of adventure for Tilly and help her navigate a year without her husband – and the possible changes to the course of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I can’t say more than that as we would enter spoilers territory, but all I will say is that you will laugh and you will cry, but you will also remember the importance of books. A beautiful touch as you start each month of this story is that there are a list of books recommended by Libby that may do for you what Joe’s recommendation does for Tilly. I have to be honest, I have added pretty much every single one to my wishlist (although I do possibly draw the line at wild camping). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this book will teach every one to remember to embrace life, plan that adventure, try that new hobby and don’t be scared to do the things that will make you happy. It will also remind you why you love books and bookshops. I am so glad that I managed to pick this book up in Mr B’s in Bath<\/a> because that just makes it that little bit special. It is definitely a book that will be on my shelves forever – especially as it is so pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also recommending listening to the BBC Radio 2 Book Club episode about ‘This Book Made Me Think of You’ because I think it makes the book even more special. I waited until I had read the book and it certainly made me appreciate the book even more – and I definitely need to plan a trip to Paris to visit Shakespeare and Company and the cafe next door. It all sounds like a perfect bookish adventure, just like this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
